City of Heroes and Villains undergoes server maintenance daily from 8am to 10am UK time* (9am to 11am for most of Western Europe). During this time, the game servers may not be accessible as we perform maintenance and make any updates to them.
Wentworth's and Black Market: As the servers that host these consignment houses are hosted with the North America servers, please note that they will be unavailable during scheduled maintenance on the North American servers. These downtimes will normally occur on Monday and Friday between 14:00 and 16:00 GMT*.
Please note: while we are reserving this daily two-hour period for maintenance updates, they will not necessarily require the entire two hours - the servers will only be brought down if maintenance is required.
Additional updates may be scheduled outside this time-period as needed.
We may also perform maintenance on additional CoH-related servers, such as the web servers, message boards, or login servers.
We appreciate your patience as we work during these time periods to provide you with the highest quality of service in City of Heroes.
* In the summer months, this is British Summer Time (BST), in the winter this is GMT. If you're unsure how your local time relates to the current time in the UK, please consult one of the many time zone websites available on the internet. -

just one type, just one hit.
Check the screenie, you can see it's the only strike
[/ QUOTE ]
It's hard to tell exactly whether there's a bug here from the single shot of the log.
The attack that defeated you was a snipe. It's possible that, at the time the attack was started, you were not at full health (making you vulnerable to being taken down with a single hit) and were then healed before the animation completed (by which time you were at full health).
(This assumes that Snipes, like most attacks, are calculated at the time the attack is started, not at the time the animation connects - I believe this is how they work, but I could be wrong.)
Or, it could be a bug. If there is it, would probably be specific to that attack or that AV - I haven't heard of a widespread problem with AVs and the 'one hit' code. -

Send a petition and let the GMs sort it out, its what they are paid to do.
[/ QUOTE ]
I wouldn't have put it quite that way, but Stalk is essentially correct.

What a shame a pleasant thread go hijacked.
[/ QUOTE ]
Indeed. -
[ QUOTE ]
The key phrase for me is "The Devs say - No. (Unless something is occurring over and over with the intention to harass, then it may be actioned.)". If someone is repeatedly tp'ing the same person into mobs to cause them debt than this could be petitioned and actionable as harassment.
[/ QUOTE ]
Or if the same player is repeatedly doing it to lots of people with the clear intention of causing them debt.
I freely admit that this can be a tricky one for our GMs to adjudicate, but griefing can be loosely defined as 'deliberately trying to spoil another player's enjoyment of the game'. -
Kin and Archy are correct - it is possible to grief other players in PvP, and victims of such behaviour should /petition with full details.

The Creative Genius for June 2006 is Corona for the superb:
Shock Tactics group shot

My comiserations Bro. That must sting a hell of a lot and I know that if that had happened with my first 50 I would be spitting mad. I would also like to say a big thankyou to Kinslayer for bringing an obscure comic book hero into the public forum and no doubt helping my brother lose the name of the toon I have had the honour of teaming with over the last year and a half. If I ever get to meet you in person I would love to thank you further.
[/ QUOTE ]
Okay, this kind of thing is uncalled for. The character broke the EULA and the name was changed. You have no way of knowing who /petitioned the character or whether one of our GMs came across them in the course of their normal duties. Singling out one person achieves nothing helpful, and threatening them is way out of line.
I'm locking this now, and I don't want to see any more posts like this anywhere on these boards. -
Just a reminder that the nominations will be closed at just before 6pm (UK time) today.
June's Creative Genius will be announced in the next few days. -

Glad to see you making comments about the art work..... oh my bad you didn't. If you don't want to discuss the art work kindly spam some where else!
[/ QUOTE ]
If you feel someone is spamming or otherwise causing a problem, the correct course of action is to report the relevant post to me via the 'Notify Moderator' icon at the bottom of the post in question, or email me with details (including a link to the thread).
Posts like this serve no purpose other than to provoke people. Please don't make them. -

Oh, and Punch and Air Sup are also the same damage for Brutes.

To the best of my knowledge, Hurl and Haymaker do the same damage.

Guys, please post nominations to the nominations thread.

I would, but you entitled that thread nominations October to May, mine was for June.

Empath on his own = poor.
2 Blasters on their own vs 4 Stalkers = Quite poor.
2 Blaster + 1 Empath vs 4+ Stalkers = Win.
Balancing is completely borked.
[/ QUOTE ]
I freely admit to not being a 'l33t' PvP player, but in my own experience, PvP is far from that predictable. Perhaps it becomes so at the very highest levels. -
Guys, please post nominations to the nominations thread.
Thanks.
